Masque of Souls - The Masque of Soul is one of three symbols that distinguishes the individual with the other two being Memento Mori and Demonion Edge. The demon part of Zevrad, Mal'akor, crafted the mask using the skull of an unnamed demon with the design of being an offensive and support item. It was later taken by one of the members of the Illidari who had slain Mal'akor and consumed his essence. Since then, the Illidari has never been seen without the mask. Donning it as a representation of what 'he' dreamt to be.
Years passed and the mask would come into possession of Eve Ariel Emberbane. Whether a gift or curse had been bestowed upon her, only time can tell.
Memento Mori - The amulet is a mysterious relic that was crafted long before the Great Sundering during the War of the Ancients. The craftsmanship holds memories of an ancient and dying race, the Kaldorei / Night Elf. Yet the most important value is that it safeguards a blissful yet painful memory of the original owner.
The current owner is Zevrad Stargazer and he is never seen without the amulet for he has bound his essence to it. This allows it to act as a conduit and storage to perform higher tiered Fel Magics and Soul Techniques. Today, the amulet has been 'purified' with Arcane Energy due to binding of Azeroth's heart. This action has affected it to become richer which, in turn, provides Zevrad's bloodline to strengthen and stabilize his current illness of decay.
Demonion Edge - A weapon had yet to exist that could be compatible with Zevrad's physiology due to his hybrid nature. So, as a tinkerer, he used his knowledge and skills to craft a weapon that would grow with him. An inheritance weapon. The name of the weapon would be known as Demonion Edge with the ability to grant the wielder the trait known as Demolution.
Demolution: A trait that evolves alongside the user with the potential to change into various forms during combat if the wielder possesses the required Soul and Fel energies. Soul Reaping: Able to store or absorb the surrounding Souls.
Forms: Dual-Handed Scythe, Two-Handed Scythe, One-Handed Glaive, Energy Shield and Bow.
Kaleidoscope of Truth - An artifact of the Void that contains valuable information, imparting insightful teachings and allows visions of the potential futures to be revealed.
Masque of Dreams - The Masque of Dreams is the realized version of Zevrad's identity and offers a wide array of skills compared to the Masque of Souls. Allowing him to use cosmic abilities, such as realization and dreamification, and enforce his authorities.
Vessel of Myriad Souls - A treasure discovered within the lands of Maldraxxus, Zevrad inherited it from the third underground layer that now acts as a medium to project a physical body for his Soul. It is a starboard colored crystal with simmering splendor as it is made of wondrous properties. The remnant spirit inside the vessel can help him refine souls to aid him through instinctive combat by creating demonic shades for espionage and fuel. By borrowing their strength that allows him to recover or fight someone of higher level without straining his Soul.
Spacetime Robes - Allows the use of spacetime by combining the sigils of space and time. Giving access to a pocket dimension where time moves more slowly compared to the outside world. 1 to 1000 days time difference, meaning 1000 days inside the dimension is 1 day in the outside world. This projected environment reflects Zevrad’s inner world of Chaos and Darkness.
Soulslaying Scythe Formation - The Soulslaying Scythe Formation was a dreadful dreadful formation enabled by the unique marks, symbols, and miniature formations carved on the seventeen flying scythes.

Zevrad is acrobatic, to an extent, and uses his agility to climb, wall run, and leap large distances. He primarily wields the shapeshifting scythe, Demonion Edge, when needed. He is also capable of wielding a wide variety of secondary weapons from arm blades, gauntlets, and claws but prefers his scythes above all.
Zevrad possesses the power of the Fel to empower his body that would allow him to perform destructive attacks with either his fists, weapons, or spells. Constant use of these abilities however would gradually corrupt and decay his body to a withered state. So he resolved these problems by using three components that acted as a conduit to channel his abilities.
Fel magic is a minor trait of what Zevrad could perform since his capabilities lie in the manipulation of the soul.
The container of Life is the Body whereas the core of Life is the Soul. It is the essence defined by the mental abilities of a living being through reason, character, feeling, consciousness, memory, perception, thinking, etc. One can interact with the Soul based on the purity and level of their mental energy and abilities as an individual.
Zevrad interacts with another person's Soul using the Masque of Souls and Memento Mori. He had secretly learned the techniques of his master as a servant to an Inquisitor, Nev'en, in his previous life and had adopted it, once again in secret, as his own after his rebirth. So far, he is the only Soul Slayer to date.
The Soul Realm is one that centers around the materialization and projection of one's inner world following the Thaumaturgical Miracle: World Egg. The created worlds are separated from reality and are a product of switching the Self and the World while keeping the boundary the same if strong enough. The realm can materialize and the people consumed will be transported into the inner world of the conjurer. Practitioners normally make use of this ability without affecting reality such as, in Zevrad's case, the distortion and manipulation of the souls.
NOTE: Conditions to materialize the realm requires an astronomical amount of energy (both Mana and Fel and pure soul intent. Meaning that Zevrad would avoid using this technique as much as possible since the backlash is quite severe.

A technique that concentrates on the development of the soul by turning "one thought into two, then one into a hundred, then one into a thousand." Meaning that this increases the efficiency of a user's mental capacity using the power of the souls. It can be difficult for one person to do multiple things at once but this technique allows the user to perform that task with ease. For example, if one reached the level of "one thought into two," then the user would become two individual minds. One could focus on a mathematical problem while the other could focus on creating a story at the same time, therefore, exceeding common multi-tasking abilities.
Allows the user to split their soul, if at the soul realm, and consciousness into two making it an extension of themselves rather than a separate individual. For example, a regular clone could listen to the commands of the original body but, due to his individuality, the clone could betray the original. The Soul Clone would instead be connected through a soul link to the original, making this clone a part of himself.
Uses Mental Energy of the Soul to dream something into Reality.
Uses Mental Energy of the Soul to return something to the Dreaming.

The Six Desires Demonic Arts were designed to sow Discord within the mind and heart of a creature as their inner-desires or fears were manifested. It can be seen as a technique with each characteristics of desire having a representation:
Eyes for the pursuit of envy.
Ears for the yearning of praise.
Nose for the experience of pleasures.
Mouth for the fulfillment of cravings.
Body for the physical contact of the flesh.
Mind for the continuous thoughts of love.
The following below is the description of each demonic aspects when individually manifested:
The first figure had no face and only had 20 or so eyes that covered its face and were all black with runes within them. They looked quite terrifying as its body was as skinny as a monkey and had abysmal skin.
The second figure was tall and slim that was a man’s body but was quite pale along with black hair. It also had no face, but on the two sides of its head, it had six pairs of pointed ears and wings.
The third figure looked both like a human and a beast; its upper body was that of a human and its lower body was that of a beast. It was covered with black fur and did not have a face either; it only had a long blood-red nose that looked like a grotesque monster.
The fourth figure looked like a small elderly person. It was currently lying on its stomach, and there was a set of horns on the side of its forehead. It did not have a face either and only had a mouth filled with fangs with a very long tongue.
The fifth figure looked normal on the upper half of its body except it too did not have a face. The lower half of its body was made up of many tentacles, with scales, that continuously twisted about and were a fleshy color. It looked quite disgusting and horrifying.
The sixth figure looked like the original and could be considered quite normal as he was wearing a silver robe and a replica of the Masque of Souls. However, he was surrounded by a demonic aura and there was nothing within the black robe, only darkness and the demonic aura that continuously changed.
When each desire is fused, they form the following characteristics:
Fiery diamond, translucent, and gleaming eye on the forehead from the Soul Illusory Demon.
Wings from the Corrupted Illusory Demon.
Increased muscle mass from the Beast Illusory Demon.
Demonic Horns from the Hell Illusory Demon.
Serpent Hound creatures and scales slithering at the back from the Spiritual Illusory Demon.
Enhanced Demonic Aura from the Chaotic Illusory Demon.
The beginning step to those pursuing the demonic path must establish a strong physical foundation.
Malevolent by nature, this realm transforms inner strength to true strength through the enhanced desire in bloodlust. With eyes glowing with a fiery hue and an expression showing a sinister and unrelenting cruelty. Know that this bloodlust can be sated after spilling immeasurable amounts of blood when participating in a havoc and carnage spree.
Those who reach this realm can allow their descendants to inherit their abilities through their bloodline and are able to use skills that uses the soul (Mental Energy or M.E.).
Evolution is required to enter this realm and starts by absorbing the surrounding energies through their physical and mental capabilities. Those who enter this realm exceed their original limits due to the absorption capability that improves recovery and stability.
The ability to create a soul clone less powerful than themselves is possible through the splitting of the soul through the cost of splitting its essence in two. They can also create a small boundary or domain (Inner World) that can suppress their enemies based on the comprehension of the cosmic forces using the concept known as the Thaumaturgical Miracle: World Egg. Note that it takes years to reach this stage due to the crucial requirement to have an astronomical source of Mental Energy and Soul Intent.
